Despite the perception that Yiddish is a dying language, it has around 250,000 speakers in America today, predominantly in ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities.
In ultra-Orthodox communities, Yiddish is not just a language, but a vital part of daily life and culture, representing a continuous and living tradition.
While mainstream American culture views Yiddish as an old footnote, the reality is that for many, it remains a primary language used every day.
Yiddish is not only the spoken language for these communities, but carries cultural significance, connecting them to their heritage and shared experiences.
